Hi! From the same record, another Mick Taylor wonderful solo is Love in Vain. So beautiful!
Alvin Lee "I am going home" from Woodstock. :) Maybe you can make a movie about this guitarist and his tricks and style. That would be great. Your movies are awesome. Thanks for your work. Greetings from Poland.
Mick Taylor was the most fluid, melodic player of his time. Brilliant. Untouchable.
Mick Taylor was 20 years old when he played that solo/gig!!!
That's realy unbelievable!
You’re kidding!!
@@reservoirfrog1 kidding? About a 20 years old guy who is doing his first concert with the Stones at Hyde Park, surely not.
@@Methilde impressive
Amazing!
Thanks for this breakdown - also one of my all-time favourite solos. I don't think Taylor had any issues playing in front of Hendrix or anyone else. When he was 16, he walked up to John Mayall and asked if he could stand in for Eric Clapton at a Bluesbreaker gig when EC hadn't shown up. Not exactly someone who lacked confidence in his playing!
He was only 19 maybe just turned 20 when he played that MSG show
Great to see appreciation for Mick Taylor: a true underrated great
God have got 2 listen more ,:-0
n we have Keith Richard n Ronnie wood n they r pretty cool ,:-0
Happily Mick is no more underated now.
I’m not sure he is underrated. Those aware of his music & work with the Stones, know he was the bees knees. Always will be.
@@LeonTrotsky6782 I play guitar and now you can find more and more covers or lessons about him on youtube.
YES!! Finally a video talking about the great Mick Taylor!
You got that right ...THE GREAT...MT...
Damn. I rarely, rarely arse to leave a comment, but I have to say... The sound, the interpretation, the twists and most importantly, the fucking groove you put in this solo... Man, thanks for sharing that with us.
This is the solo that made me stop wanting to be a singer and pick up a guitar - not to mention his solo on "Love In Vain" from this same period.
I could bet that impressing Hendrix would be no easy feat! Mick is one of the best!
There are many country guitarists who would blow Hendrix away, with technique, and much greater repertoires, were they sitting around jamming unplugged in your living room: Danny Gatton, Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, many more.
Well done, I love the Keith Richards solo BEFORE Taylors solo too! Some of the best two guitar interplay you will ever hear on that Ya, Ya,s version.
Me too!!! After all Keef has his tricks up his sleeve... Unforgettable, brilliant solos, like on Sympathy, HonkyTW, Gimme Shelter, etc. ♥️
Mick is truly one of the best ever. This solo has been a high water mark in my eyes for a few years now.
In the 90’s I was privileged to hang out with Mick a few times and went to some gigs. Great musician, lovely man. The Stones lost when he left.
You probably know the story how Mick Taylor got fame. He turned up for a John Mayall concert featuring Eric Clapton but Clapton didn’t turn up. At the break Mick approached Mayall and asked if he could play the second set as he knew the licks. He played. Later Mayall attempting to contact Taylor put an ad in Melody Maker and found him. After Brian Jones left the Stones were needing a guitarist and considered a few but Taylor was suggested by Mayall although he may have already played session and jammed with the Stones.
That happened at the Woodhall Community Centre in Welwyn Garden City. Hertfordshire.
At the time he lived in the same street as me in Hatfield Hertfordshire.
Same town as Free's Paul Kossoff and in Paul Kossoff's Street was the home of some bloke who worked for Parlophone, called George Martin
It's the blues influence that makes all these guitar players stand out
Sounds country influenced as well.
Not Page
2 things odd about your comment.
1: Isn't rock derived from blues?
2: How can they all stand out with the same influence?
@@craigcotter7476 every blues musician has their own phrasing everyone has a unique sound of their own Do Albert King and SRV sound the same do Hubert Sumlin and Jimmy Page sound the same do Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy sound the same
@@craigcotter7476 I can't argue with you on the 1st point it's the truth
It's interesting that the three greats of British blues guitar (Mick Taylor, Eric Clapton and Peter Green) first started to get attention as up and coming guitar players during their respective brief tenures as members of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. I would say Mr. Mayall definitely has an ear for talent.
I think Mick Taylor would have gotten far more personal recognition had he stayed with Mayall rather than joining the Stones
What about Jeff beck???
@@magnusparsons5392 True, though he is not usually considered a blues guitarist.
@@magnusparsons5392 having said that, there is no denying he's one of the greatest British guitar players
@@magnusparsons5392 Jeff beck was never in blues breakers
You perform a great service to beginning and intermediate players, sir, and I don't even know your name. You have my great respect and much gratitude.
Man I love your channel. What I like the most is your enthusiasm while playing the guitar. It must have taken many years and a lot of skills to reach that level. But obviously you love it. Keep the fantastic lessons coming. Rock on.
This Mick Taylor solo shows us the Prince of Darkness in all his glory, badness and sadness. Fantastic.
Mick Taylor is the Goat. hes been my favourite guitarist for awhile now. Stones rule too of course!
Mick Taylor MADE the Sticky Fingers album! Nobody talks about his work, thanks for this video!
Everybody talk about his work and I suppose that Jagger and Keith where on hollydays during Sticky Finger composition.
@@Methilde No kidding, right?
@@janstan8407 Well, you say that Taylor MADE the albbum. Obviously he is not credit enough, but since he leaves the Stones he don't produce exceptional music, so..
@@Methilde Point well taken. But his complaint upon leaving the stones was that he didn't get song writing credit. You're right though about him not having a solo career. Too bad, I would have bought one of his albums. Ron Wood use to go on solo tours and play small clubs all the time.
@@janstan8407 Maybe also he couldn't support Jagger/Richard life style but I still dream sometimes he don't leave them...
Have always loved the stones and can’t believe it took me so long to recognize Mick Taylor as one of my favorites not to mention underrated guitarists..Along with Robbie Krieger from the DOORS and Mick Ronson mostly known for his work with BOWIE but also rocked it with Mellencamp
Good stab at the solo, GP. I saw Mick Taylor join Little Feat in London in ‘77 for an encore, playing slide on a guitar NOT tuned to a chord and damn near blew Lowell George (one of my favourite slide players) off the stage. A very underrated guitarist. The Stones were at their best with Mick in the band
I have two favorite guitar solos and they are both from Sympathy for the Devil - the one you played (awesomely) and the studio solo by Keith which is simply ferocious and I don't think anyone can duplicate, not even Keith himself. It's called a one-off.
Sure you are no Mick Taylor but you are darn good-exceptional!!
The fact that Keith’s part is so unbelievably good yet still shown up by Mick T says something about how epic this solo is. The two parts combined are without a doubt the BEST guitar solo in rock history (NOTE Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out version)
Also shows that you need a great song & rhythm section to play a great solo!
No better, no best, no top 10. It's your favorite.
1000% correct. I break into tears everytime I hear Taylor and Keith on GYYO. It is the height of rock guitar artistry and beauty. And I've been listening to it for 50 years.
Mick Taylor and Keith Richards wrote so many legendary guitar parts for the songs on sticky fingers, exile on main street and goat head soup.
they sure did...
You left out Let It Bleed, one of my favorite Rolling Stones records.
@@chipsterb4946 ...and ya-ya's which is also a classic where their guitars sound amazing.
Great work as usual! One my favorite as well. He had some killer solo's during 72/73 live shows as well. Gime Shelter and Love in vain among my favorites from these shows.
Mick Taylor was unique in his style and his mindblowing deepdive feeling for the guitar gave him the untouchable trinity of feeling,vibe and response.
One “like” is just not enough for what you do, man. Just not enough.
Mick is so underrated
I know he kicks his own ass for quitting the best guitar gig a musician ever had
No more.
Bloody wonderful as always Pilgrim….always thought Mick’s Vibrato influence can be heard in so many other great players….John Mayer , John Frucianti etc.
BTW I bet Jimi loved that evening watching Mick playing , just imagine going on set and seeing the Greatest sitting in the audience….wow.
Mick is so underrated, he's one of the greatest guitarist of all time. If you are a blues fan go listen to his song " Slow Blues " you won't regret it ❤️
When you see how many people write : Taylor is underrated, it becomes funny!
Don't forget Marriage Madness with John Mayall!
There is not many Mick Taylor solos that I can't sing in my head, just a superb player, its amazing the journey his solos actually take you on. Hendrix however was from another planet, an innovator of sound, technique, and theatrics. The Full Package (as proved by the Plaster Castrers)
his sense, feeling, techinc, the deployment method all are amazing. Slash said he was affected most by Mick taylor.
when Billy Gibbons opened up for Hendrix..he actually did covers of Jimis songs...now thats bold.
Bold as love
The Moving Sidewalks did Hey Joe and Foxy Lady because they didn't have enough original material to open for Hendrix... Billy gives a great interview about it...
I have to agree. That is one fantastic solo, and you do it justice.
Thanks for highlighting Mick. Love this song and Solo
Really, really solid practical tips, thank you! 💪👍🤘🔥
I've been listening to the YaYa's album for over 40yrs now and I have never heard a better blues/rock album. MickTaylors slide work on Love in Vain still gives me the chills, as I am sure it did for Jimi. Taylor was only about 20 years old back in December 1969. Incredible. Reallly enjoyed this video.
Agreed! A very exciting album. I play it in the car very often. I rank it with the live Little Feat album as the two best live albums.
So many gems from one solo. Thanks again Guitar Pilgrim! Now I need to listen to some Mick Taylor . . . So hard to choose a favorite solo but Prince’s solo from “I could never take the place of your man” is one that always gets me in the gut. I love the way the tension builds with that ascending repetition (not sure if that’s the right term).
I spent plenty of time trying to get that solo down and never nailed it as you did in perhaps an hour or less. Mick Taylor was the best guitar player the stones ever had. Honorable mention to Brian Jones, who was #2 and a multi instrumentalist.
Thank you for that great video , you are a really good guitar player yourself, you got the feel for that solo. . Mick Taylor is a master blues rock guitarist and also a master slide guitar player . We have to Thank him for the 5 years that made the Stones golden period. 1969-1974 , Let it Bleed , Get your YaYa's sticky Fingers, Goats head Soup , and Its only Rock and Roll. Love the Brian Jones era too, but the Taylor era made the Stones the worlds greatest rock and roll band.
Many people don't know of all the work he did after the Stones with Dylan, Alvin Lee , Jack Bruce and had his own blues band for 30 years.
Congratulations on this powerful demonstration! You helped me realize a lot of the little things I adore about Mick Taylor´s playing. His masterful blending of major and minor, especially (Jiving Sister Fanny, another great example).
I’ve heard Mick’s solo probably a thousand times now and when you pointed out the fact the he went back and forth between both Pentatonic scales (Major/Minor) it then really hit home on why his solo has always been an incredibly dynamic piece to listen to. A well done dissection!
Awesome lesson, but dude, u gotta get your yayas out with a Les Paul
Glad someone finally mentioned that...............he also played an SG on this tour....
I’ve been trying to get this down for years. Great job!
You're an extremely good and exiting guitar teacher !
Really enjoyed listening to you !
Finally, a video dedicated to the great Mick Taylor. Thank you for an awesome video. The next kick ass video should be Mick Taylor, and the next one: Robby Krieger
My favorite lead guitarist of all time
It’s nice to have someone with excellent taste and ability (you) concur with an old fart (me) that this is the best guitar solo ever committed to vinyl. What a superbly conceived and executed solo this is! This is the Stones at their best, when their playing was so damn compelling.
What an amazing guitar player is Mick taylo! I love it!
Young Mick Taylor was one of the best rock/blues guitarists ever... The Stones were at the peak when he was in the band. Very interesting analysis of Taylor's playing you got here. This is one of my favorite guitar solos also!
And Mick was at his best with the stones...
While it’s a given to Stones fans that MT is the best guitarist to have been in the Stones, I would argue that he belongs on the short list of the greatest guitarists ever
No one said those ideas are mutually exclusive...
Best lead* guitarist in the Stones
I was at my local pub The Railway Tavern) watching John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Mick on guitar. Anyway - Jimi turned up and "borrowed" Mick's Les Paul for the rest of the evening. Jimi was great - obviously - and Mick spent the rest of the evening at the bar. I'm betting that was the moment he decided no such thing was ever going to happen again.
I grew up in the same street where Mick Taylor grew up. Lockley Crescent in Hatfield. I moved in in 1968 as a two year ago toddler, just around the time as Mick became a Stone.
It's too bad Mick T didn't mesh with The Stones personally and bailed. He was a top notch guitar player and meshed well Keith.
Mick Taylor’s work on Gimme Shelter was awesome, too.
Everything Mick Taylor did was awesome.
The intro to the solo you’re talking about here is a great rhythm fill.
Especially the live version during his time in the band. Before the stones decided to find a feature backup singer for that song, Mick Taylor did with his hands what the original singer did with her voice... both gave me goosebumps.
Mick Taylor didn’t play on Gimmie Shelter that’s Keith doing the riff and solo unless you’re talking about a live version of the song the only tracks MT played on Let It Bleed were Country Honk and Live With Me
I'd never heard this solo before, & although I am aware that Mick Taylor was is the Stones for a period, I haven't actually ever listened to his performances.
This solo is awesome & so fluid. I can certainly hear the Clapton esque feel & runs.
You play this so well & clean, it's a joy to watch & listen. I love that clean tone you wring out from your Strat, it's simply sublime!
May I ask, what is the set up you had, besides the rosewood Strat, to achieve that awesome tone (besides your fingers my man)??
Taylor has ben the best guitar player the Stones ever had
I am sooo glad you say this. I have also always thought that Mick Taylors solo on that live version of symphaty is unbelievable good. I like Keiths part too. But he is more cool and relaxed in his play/part. nonchalant. So happy you did this. Thanks 🙂 big ups!
Hey guitarpilgrim, i am back again in comment to célébrate the 60k views. For a Mick taylor video , with no mention of rolling stones in title, have you imagined a such good audience? It is more of most of your video about ” famous” guitarists, only more view for hendrix last months! You put Taylor and this solo at the right place , congratulations! And the same for your audience, really happy to see so much fans for this artist, more than i expected
I was there. Mick Taylor was unbelievable. Jimi was actually on stage behind the amps. I have dozens of photos. Amazing concert.
I know the Mick Taylor 1969 MSG Sympathy solo. And it IS top 5 all time live.
BUT Jimmy Page 1973 MSG No Quarter solo (full version) is IT. It’s just other worldly.
I’m happy SOMEone is talking about Mick Taylor! He was only good enough to join the Stones at 19-20 years old but NO one brings him up!
If you don’t know who Marcus King is you HAVE to check him out..
Another 20 year kid with a 70 year old Soul!
that sympathy solo is one of the very very best rock n roll solos of them all, and then theres- stray cat, love in vain (slide), rambler, and street fighting man, mick t is awesome on that album / tour.
Imagine being 17 and replacing Eric Clapton in the bluesbreakers, then imagine being asked to replace the founder of the stones at 19, and Eric Clapton is there.
There's no way Taylor would have been intimidated by Jimi, in fact they all probably met each other during the club days in the UK.
Both guitar solos are excellent. With that said, we really don’t know exactly what is live and what was overdubbed in the studio. Jagger admits that YaYa’s was heavily touched up with vocals and guitars.
I've seen Mick Taylor twice First time Backing Bob Dylan at wembley a bus load of us went there and the general consensus was " I always knew Mick Taylor was Good But I didnt know he was that fucking Good !" ,Clapton Beck and Mark Knopfler were up there with him but he shone
It’s a high time so please do breakdown of mateus asato guitar playing !
Cuz his guitar prowess is on next level !
It really was a great solo. But I also love Keith's nasty solo on that cut. Keith had absolutely filthy tone at that show
I agree with you, that is one of his very best leads. MT brought so much to the Stones. I had the pleasure of seeing them in NYC (MSG) in '69 and '72. Unbelievable. They lost a lot when they lost him. Although to be fair that era was also when they were writing their best songs. Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the world, indeed. P.S. Your playing is excellent. Somewhat different tone. Strat vs. Gibson?
When you go to Guitar Center and everybody is talking about tone, they are talking about Mick Taylor.
Mick Taylor was a big part of my guitar journey. Love him!
Didn't know JH was at the audience, but always considered this solo a masterpiece of rock n roll guitar. By the way, I was able only to play by ear Keith's solo for this performance. Maybe now with this video I can dream about playing Mike's solo. Thank you mr. GUITAR PILGRIM! Antonio, 31, Brazil.
I agree that it is one of the best rock, blues solos ever, but Jimi's solo on Machine Gun at Fillmore East is at an whole other level.
Could you do a tutorial with tabs for this solo? I can't find anything like that. I would really apreciate that! Thanks.
Another cool thing about this solo is the phrasing. He goes from straight to syncopated, using triplets juxtaposed against 8th notes, and starting/ending phrases on both the upbeat and the downbeat of the measure. And the picking is SO clean, something not a lot of guitar heroes of the 60’s worried about.
great playing, mick was a superb player wasnt he, the most un rock and roll man you will ever meet though.
Mick Taylor is a BOSS ..
That opening is so reminiscent of Sam and Dave’s “Soul Man”
Check out his solo live version of the stones sway and then of course one of the most beautiful guitar pieces, sort of his swan song with Stones, Time waits for no one.
in all bootlegs from this time (69 to 74) , the MT solo's are stratospherics
Great video! MT is a true legend.
Great tutorial and wonderful playing!
Mick is the peak of stones 🤟🤟 my favorite solo is the one he does in Love in Vain, live somewhere in the 70s😎
Agreed, THE GREATEST ,most soulful guitar solo of all time (in my opinion)
This was Altamont 1969 I believe(not too sure!). I've been listening to this one version of sympathy for a long time, and this one might perhaps be the best due to Jagger and Taylor. The Taylor solo always stood out, specially because of the way he handled the pentatonic major~minor transition. BB and Albert king did this sometimes, SRV was quite good at this, Hendrix did it for short intervals and kept it subtle. Beck tried this too with some success, Clapton and Peter Green were the best I'd seen till then, they were incredible. But NO ONE can play that as smooth as Taylor. It is fast, effortless, flowing and not the generic kind that most of the contemporaries did. This solo is a masterpiece for anyone who wants to study the scales.
Mick Taylor made the rolling stones rock out more...
My favorite is, "You Can't Always Get What You Want..." from Love You Live. I always thought it was Mick Taylor, but found out it was Ronnie Wood! Saw them in '78 (second only to BB King in '81as best concert ever) and '81.
Same for me. Loveyoulive is so underrated. Ronnie could play awesome solos with a hardcore rocksound around the black and blue era. People today refer to him as a clown as the intertwined keith ronnie rockabillypunk sound became the stones sound from Some Girls till today with hardly wirthwhile soloing. But the 75 76 tours had awesome hard rock soloing.
Great solo and great video. One of my favourites isn’t really a solo but the noodling Jimi does before he closes Woodstock with Hey Joe is so cool. I also love John Frusciante’s guitar part during the RHCP intro jam at La Cigale.
Mick Taylor’s solo from Get yer Ya ya‘s out is a very memorable solo. One of the main reasons why I bought the album. The whole album is fantastic. I’m very bias though because I’m a huge Mick Taylor fan. What solo Mick played wasn’t great? Lol. Hard for me to choose a favorite of his. Sway? 100 years ago? Winter? Time waits for no one? Love in vain? Gimmie Shelter? Cant always get what you want? Can you hear me knockin? The list goes on. I love the fact that Taylor is getting noticed by younger guitarist. Taylor and Page all day for me. Then there is everyone else after them. The tone Taylor had besides his style is above the rest in my opinion. Job well done sir and I appreciate you video in discussing his techniques.
Very underrated guitarist with a great wrist vibrato, more video about Mick Taylor please! 🤘🤘👅
It builds up from a country lick into a full blown blues jam..!!
I love mick taylor thanks for doing this vid.
My favorite solo by Mick is "Can You Hear Knocking".
On the five albums on which he appeared, Mick took the Stones to another level. That period is the only time by the Stones had a true lead guitarist, an excellent one at that. Another guitarist that belongs in that same category as underrated in their ability and effect on the band is Robby Krieger of the Doors. I got his solo album "The Ritual Begins at Sundown". Very jazzy. Worth the investment. He and Mick were overshadowed by their bands and among the most underrated guitarists in rock.
Don't forget Rory Gallagher
Maggot Brain by Funkadelic (Eddie Hazel) is the greatest piece of guitar playing I’ve ever heard. 2nd is Prince’s solo on Joy in Repetition (electric and acoustic solo at the same time)
MT is my guitar hero growing up. Seeing you pull that solo off from the live Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out really is nice. The Richards Taylor combo was a pair rock and roll needed more of....only 5 years of it, but Stones most formidable rock era, greatest live performances.....when the moniker “Greatest Rock and Roll Band In The World”, came up....they were so hot live, with Billy Preston joining for tours, a brass section.....hot stuff, can’t get enough!
7:15 "do you feel like we do" vibes from frampton
Thought the same thing. Looked for confirmation in the comments before posting my own.
Nice to speak about mick taylor , the king on bend/vibrato major /minor mix and fluidity ( fluidite en français)at a so young age. A boy of 16/17 years old who says one night ” i can play clapton parts ” to john mayall in a club when clapton was absent . This is one of his best solo , really like his work on this live on straycat blues , midnight rambler but his best solos where always on Love in vain . It s him at his best . Like very much his last apparence with john mayall on blues for lost days. A real solo structure lesson
God damned , you teach this fluidity trick ! So good thanks !
Thats hot man. Real nice. All harmonious at the start and then transcends
Amazing rendition of an amazing solo! Well done! This solo is definitely in my top 3, I think the other 2 if I had to pick would be Claptons solo on Crossroads and Jimmy Page's Heartbreaker solo from June 1972 (How the West Was Won)
